Quotes

..." Dr Butler said: "I don't myself see how a parish could legally 'take' the parish church and other assets without specific statutory authority. In the case of the parish church, it would presumably mean a scheme under the Pastoral Measure, or specific legislation enacted for the purpose, and this could only be done with the goodwill of the diocese. "In the case of assets such as the church hall or other parish property, appropriation to another denom ination would certainly be a breach of trust and would not be possible without the co-operation of the Dio cesan Board of Finance as Custodian Trustee and probably also the involvement of the Charity Com mission." The Archbishop of Canterbury told the congregation at AllAll Saints', Margaret Street, on its 150th anni versary, that "within our Anglican family we need to go on telling a few stories about those who have shown that it is possible to lead lives of Catholic holiness even within the see of Canterbury. . . "God knows what the future holds for any of us, for any of our ecclesi astical institutions, but we can at least begin with what we can be sure of; that God has graced us with the lives of saints; that God has been credible in his fellowship with these people." In giving thanks for All Saints', he remarked: "At times when the future seems more than usually chaotic and uncertain, it doesn't hurt simply to give thanks." The former Primate of Nigeria, the Most Revd Peter Akinola, last week described the Pope's offer as "a grave indictment of the InstrumentsInstruments of Communion"."

The bishops also cite Pope John Paul II, who said, "To couples who cannot have children of their own I say: you are no less loved by God; your love for each other is complete and fruitful when it is open to others, to the needs of the apostolate, to the needs of the poor, to the needs of orphans, to the needs of the world." (Homily at Mass for families, Onitsha, Nigeria, February 13, 1982)
